Meek Mill Headed Towards First No. 1 Album on Billboard – 200k+

Rapper Meek Mill is heading for his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest his latest release, Dreams Worth More Than Money, could move over 200,000 equivalent album units in the week ending July 5. That should easily place the set atop the Billboard 200 chart when its top 10 is unveiled on Wednesday, July 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

Meek Mill’s last album, 2012’s Dreams and Nightmares, debuted and peaked in the No. 2 slot with 165,000 sold in its first week, according to Nielsen Music. The album’s latest single — “All Eyes on You,” featuring girlfriend Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown — debuts at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 11. The trio performed the song on Sunday’s BET Awards.

Other albums set for high debuts on next week’s chart include Miguel’s Wildheart, X Ambassadors’ VHS and August Burns Red’s Found in Far Away Places.

One can only ask, is this the Nicki Minaj influence or is Meek really that hot?
